Elena Damiani (born 1979) is a Peruvian visual artist, known for sculpture, collage, installation art, video, and photography. Her work explores cartography, geology, time, space, and archaeology.[1][2] Damiani lives in Lima, and previously lived in London,[3] and Copenhagen.[1][2]
In 2013, she married a Goldsmiths classmate and Danish artist, Erik Bendix, and they have one child.[5][6] They had lived in Copenhagen for many years, and moved to Lima in 2016.[5]
Career
Damiani's first art exhibition was a two person show at Sala Luis Miró Quesada Garland in Lima.[5] After graduation, she started working with Galería Vértice in Lima, where she had her first solo exhibition in 2007.[5] She has only worked as an artist and never held another type of job, even in her early career.[5]
In 2007, she was awarded the "Artist Award" by the French Embassy in Peru, but she asked to use the award to visit biennales and art fairs which they agreed.[5] She was able to visit Paris for two weeks, followed by the Venice Biennale, Art Basel, and Documenta.[5] From this experience she decided to live abroad, and study in London.[5]
Damiani's work appeared in 2015 at the 56th Venice Biennale in Venice, Italy, representing Denmark.[5][6] Her work was part of the main exhibition titled All The Worlds Futures, at the Venice Biennale in 2015, curated by Okwui Envezor.[6]
Many of the images used in her series "Fading Fields" are older images sourced from the United States Geological Survey (USGS), they're reworked and contrasted with modern photographs of the same landscape taken by Damiani; these two images are collaged and displayed as installations.[7] There is a comparison that happens between the landscape photography; there are differences between the historical U.S. scientist’s interpretation of the land, versus a modern point of view of someone from the local area.[7] Her work forces viewers to rethink study of the landscape.
